Fred Colombo - The Road EP - Review

Looking over the notes to Fred Colombo
you think you're going to listen to some heavy metal music due to his
previous work, but he has chose to do something completely different.

Far
from being music you step-down into the mosh pit you step into a room
full of disco light balls and laser lights with smoke breaking-up the
different colours and making them soft to suit the electronic pop with
ever so slight raw elements that come through.

The track listings:

1.] The Gate Forever

2.] Kill Me

3.] Within

4.] Out There

5.] The Road

6.] Nightfalls on the Kingdom of You and Me

The
Road EP is a twister because it takes you on a journey with some pretty
dark lyrics and themes of trying to make sense of hopeless situations
and trying, or rather hoping to survive and live somewhat a better
existence. The notion of not being able to kill yourself but is more
comfortable in allowing someone else to do the dirty deeds is pretty
heavy going. But on the flip-side the music is colourful, bright and
easily consumable, which twists your mind into enjoying these songs.
